Welcome to a Small Oasis of Englishness

Hello and welcome.

My aim here is to create a place that celebrates the old values of traditional Englishness. I shall do this by sharing reviews of books and movies, discussing cultural motiffs such as poetry, music, legends and historical events, sharing opinions on our wonderful countryside and its amazing wildlife and also posting recipes, lyrics and the like.

If you like the thought of a cool glass of cider, slowly sipped whilst watching a village cricket match on a long golden Summer's evening; or a soft-lit stroll through a snowy wood on a mid-Winter afternoon, followed by a good book in front of log fire in a traditional cottage...then this will be the place for you.

Unfortunately, little such Englishness appears to exist in many parts of England now...a place that is now so busy and often urbanised that our ancestors would barely recognise it.

So enjoy this virtual Olde England...pour a cup of tea or a mug of real ale, grab a few biscuits and pull up your chair...welcome to this England...the England of my soul...Albion of old.
